Abstract: The role of organic moleeules in multiphase atmospheric systems is illustrated by two examples. The first draws attention to the possible role of an organic surface film on aerosol particles; the second discusses the role of "in cloud" chemistry in the formation of HCOOH and CH$_{3}$COOH from light alkanes. Vertical and meridional distributions of C$_{2}$ to C$_{5}$ hydrocarbons are presented whichunderline their importance at the midlatitudes of the northern hemisphere. An attempt is made to quantify the global emissions of individual light nonmethane hydrocarbons, and the various sources of C$_{2}$ - C$_{5}$ hydrocarbons are briefly discussed.
